And she just wasn't having me. She's competitive. She didn't like me. She just wasn't having me," Chong said in the audio clip obtained by TMZ. The actress then attacked Winfrey's looks, invoking slave imagery. "If you look at the way [Winfrey] looks, she looks like 60 years ago she would have been a housekeeper luckily. She would have not been a house n-----; she would have been a field n-----," Chong said.Chong added that even though Winfrey has "all the power in the world ... she only wants something that is only chemical, purely impossible": to be beautiful. The actress also included a barely veiled backhanded compliment, saying, "The thing that's really great about Oprah that you can't take away from her is that she's a great brown-noser."Listen to the interview below.
